Norpro Pizza 13-inch by 15-inch Baking Stone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this stone to try out some new bread and pizza recipes. The stone cracked in half after about 20 uses over the course of 6 weeks. It broke in half while making pizza, not while cleaning it or moving it. It is possible some sauce got on the stone, which also can create cracking, but I expected the stone to be more sturdy. When it was whole, the stone worked great, creating a crackly, even-colored crust. But it is too delicate and not an adequate thickness for the high heat involved making pizza. The overall surface area of the stone is a healthy 13 x 15 inches. But the product description suggest that the stone is 2 inches thick. That's a bad typo. It's actually 1/2 inch thick, possibly only 3/8 inch. A good bread/pizza stone should be at least 3/4 inch thick. I should have known it was a typo, since expensive stones are rarely more than 1 inch thick.

Norpro 5 1/2-Inch Stainless Steel Funnel with Detachable Strainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sometimes you just can't win. I've seen the other reviews whining that the included strainer isn't fine enough to catch all debris in leftover frying oil. Well, if Norpro had made the strainer finer, I'm certain we'd see people complaining that the strainer was too fine! This is a well-made funnel; I've had mine for years. Unlike plastic funnels, which never really feel clean after dealing with grease and oil, this one cruises through the dishwasher w/o problems. I have used the strainer for oil, but it is on the coarse side. However, I find this funnel works great with a Melitta #2 coffee filter, which I use for my small coffeemaker. I don't like using cheesecloth as it's a hassle. I'd suggest going to a coffee filter as an alternative. Additionally, I can pour hot oil after frying at a temp that would damage a plastic funnel.

Norpro Bamboo Citrus Reamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Maybe it's just because it's brand new. Maybe it's because it's bamboo instead of whatever kind of wood most of them are. Maybe it's because my last one was plastic, and the wooden ones are better. Or maybe I was just so happy to receive a new one after several months of not having one. Whatever the case, this thing is an absolute pleasure to use. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs to juice small-to-medium amounts of citrus.

Norpro Stainless Steel Deluxe Food Mill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a solid well-made product with holes in the mill inserts that are larger (5mm and 3mm) than the size of the seeds you want to keep out of your sauces. I primarily use a food mill for tomato sauces. This device will not work with tomatoes or seeds noticeably bigger(grapes). Unless you are pureeing watermelon you probably will be disappointed in this product.

Metal Lime Squeezer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Disregard the review concerning price and purchase conditions.
This product is terrific - simple, works better than anything with an electric motor, and cheap. Just good old-fashioned design and functionality. Definitely a 5-star - check the reviews for the lemon size press. This is the same product in a smaller size for limes.

Norpro Stainless Steel Interchange Triple Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll give it 5 stars for construction and finish, but only 1 star for design and functionality - that averages out to 3 stars. To put it bluntly, the darn thing just doesn't work very well.
The main problem is with the ribbed cones that are supposed to do the reaming and extract the juice - not only are the ribs too "dull", but the top is too rounded, so the fruit tends to slide off to the side when you push down on it, even if you twist at the same time. The unit is something of a "rattle-trap" as well - the cone sits loosely in the strainer, and the strainer sits loosely in the bowl, and even a slight misdirection of pressure can have unexpected consequences!
My old one-piece 69-cent plastic juicer, that I picked up at the supermarket, outperforms this thing by a wide margin. The plastic unit has sharp-edged ribs and a pointed tip, and extracts every last drop of juice with minimal effort. Guess I'll be sticking with that until something better comes along.

Norpro Stainless-Steel Citrus Juice Press Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had bought one of the cast aluminum citrus press a week before and broke it after one day. As I use it mostly for limes and lemons I didn't want a stand type press because it took up too much kitchen counter real estate. So I did a search on the net and came across this one.
First it's stainless steel and built tough,very heavy duty. second it's got a 3" bowl, large enough for the large limes and lemons, but I'm afraid that it's too small for most oranges sold in supermarkets.
I feel that the design could be improved with another roll of holes in the bottom of the press, but other than that it's the best I've come across. Since I've received it, I've had a chance to look in several specialty cooking stores and haven't found one comparable.
**** Update, it's now 8/15/07. I use the press almost every day (my favorite drink is 2 packets of splenda, one fresh lime and a quart of carbonated water over ice). The press is in the same shape it when I bought it. No deformation of the handles (I'm a big guy 6'6" and 325 lbs and I've really squeezed the handles hard), after a pass through the dishwasher it shines like new.
**** Update it's now 11/18/2009. Still using it just about every day and it still looks and works like new.
